The tenth anniversary edition of the folklore festival of Bulgarians abroad "On the Town Square of the Other Bulgaria" will be held on June 6, 7 and 8 in the French city of Lyon, returning to the place where all started back in 2015. The dance group "Ot Izvora" from Lyon, led by Anita Ekenova, will host an unforgettable celebration.
The venue of the event is the Palace of Sports (350 Av. Jean Jaurès). The folklore wealth of Bulgaria will be presented by ensembles of compatriots living in Germany, France, Spain, UK, Ireland, Italy, Austria, Norway, Cyprus, Poland, Switzerland, the Netherlands, the USA.
"We will dance, laugh and celebrate to encompass all the themes, stories and feelings that have connected us over the years," the organizers say.
